AmazonElasticFileSystemClient.DeleteMountTarget (string)

Method

This operation forcibly breaks any mounts of the file system via the mount target
being deleted, which might disrupt instances or applications using those mounts. To
avoid applications getting cut off abruptly, you might consider unmounting any mounts
of the mount target, if feasible. The operation also deletes the associated network
interface. Uncommitted writes may be lost, but breaking a mount target using this
operation does not corrupt the file system itself. The file system you created remains.
You can mount an EC2 instance in your VPC using another mount target.

This operation requires permission for the following action on the file system:

elasticfilesystem:DeleteMountTarget

call returns while the mount target state is still "deleting". You can check the mount

mount target's network interface:
